With spring virtually upon us, and the summer months looming closer it is well worth considering ways that you can minimise the chance of pesky insects plaguing your equine friend. Flies and bugs not only cause an irritant to your horse but also can sometimes carry unpleasant bacteria, which owners certainly don’t want in their stable environment.
For some horses, stabling in the summer months is essential and insects can be an inevitable irritation, however choosing the correct bedding can help encourage bugs to ‘buzz off’!
Nedz manufacture an innovative range of bedding, made from top quality chopped straw, which has been rigorously dust extracted. The way the straw fibres have been chopped, using a state of the art system, make both Nedz Original and Nedz Pro exceptionally absorbent, yet soft enough to offer comfort for your equine.
Absorbency is key to discouraging insects from making the stable their habitat, as it soaks up urine, which in turn reduces the levels of ammonia in the environment. The result is a cleaner, fresher and more hygienic stable.
Both Nedz Original and Nedz Pro utilise a unique blend of Manuka, Cade Oil, Aloe Vera and Silver in the exclusive Natural Nedz formula. Natural Nedz offers anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties. This organic formulation assists in protecting the skin and minimising the risk of hygiene issues by helping kill of bacteria and viruses spread by insects. By using Cade Oil in the bedding insects are discouraged from entering the environment, while the stable remains fresh smelling.
Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are priced between £6 - £8 per 20kg bale. For more information about Nedz visit the website www.nedz.co.uk or tel: 01254 677 762.
